This site is for the opinions of We The People in the trenches of American society and societies around the world. We are never listened to, always ignored, and very often right. It is time the average citizen had a voice and here it is. It is time we were all heard, now's our chance, and here is your forum. Let yourselves be heard.

Mullah Omar was invited to join
the upcoming election in 2014 and he did not respond. He did not have to he
knows when we are gone so is corrupt Karzai. I remember during the election with
Abdullah and Karzai's victory was found to be grossly corrupt the people just
shrugged and said one corrupt Government is the same as the
next.

That said, the people would be
wise to remember the cutting off of heads and hands that is routine for the
Taliban and how stifling it is under their rule. As a whole they should remember
the thousands of them the Taliban have purposely killed. They should form
Lashkar's (civilian defense against the Taliban) and eliminate the Taliban or
life as they want it is over.

The Afghan forces could splinter along ethnic line and prompt
civil war, the nation could plunge into a deep recession, or the Kabul
government — plagued with corruption and still fragile despite efforts to
establish its authority — would remain too weak to hold off a Taliban takeover.
Just a 45-minute drive south of Kabul, residents of Wardak province directly
feel the tenuousness. The province is a battleground for Afghan and coalition
forces trying to squash hotbeds of the Taliban. Residents quickly warn visitors
that it’s dangerous just to go past a checkpoint less a kilometer (half-mile)
outside the provincial capital, Maidan Shahr.

Many Afghans share his concern. In this
environment, troubling indicators are not hard to find. More than 30,400 Afghans
applied for asylum in industrialized nations in 2011, the highest level in 10
years and four times the number seeking asylum in 2005. The only Western bank
operating here said on Wednesday that it would be leaving. Piles of cash
equaling about a quarter of Afghanistan’s annual economic output were physically
carried out of Afghanistan last year.

I just do not get it. If those
people know how bad their life is going to be under the Taliban then why do they
not fight to defeat them? *Vietnam all over again regardless of what they say.
They are now offering the Taliban to join in the Government.

I really do
not care what they do. Our soldiers did their job. We should get them out now
with heads held high for a job well done. They have performed magnificently.The
Taliban are going to take over again regardless and the people know it that is
why everyone who can is making preparations to get out now.
